About Lorde

Lorde is eighteen years old, a Kiwi, and a star. Instead of singing about love and partying like most pop stars, her music focuses mostly on adolescence and fearing fame.

Several milestones helped put her on the radar, including her song Royals becoming #1 on the US Top Alternative charts, marking her the first female solo singer in seventeen years to reach that position. It also topped the Hot 100 for nine weeks. Her single Team also hit the top ten of the Hot 100, peaking at number six.

In 2014, Lorde announced she was curating The Hunger Games: Mockingjay soundtrack. The lead single, Yellow Flicker Beat, was released on September 29, 2014, and peaked at number 34 on the Hot 100. Kanye West made a remix of it, which was later released as a promotional single. The album itself was released on November 17, 2014, and peaked at 18 on the Billboard 200.
